For Those Martha Stewart Moments...

...when you feel crafty, but not quite defeated. These are from Subversive Cross Stitch, an internet shop which apparently specializes in such phrasing paired with classic cross stitch design. If it seeks to offend, it didn't work, I'm too busy laughing hysterically. (Does this mean I'm subversive and trendy yet? Yet? Anyone?) 

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and you will be able to find my subversive and trendy self at home. Usually we try to go to First Night, but last year is was way too cold and wet and we decided there was NO WAY we were going to try. This year Doug has a cold which is making it hard for him to go from one end of the house to the other without wheezing like he just ran a mile. (But does this stop him from working, and send him to bed so he can get rest and get better? Oh my no!) So obviously there's no way he can make such a trek, and I'm not about to go out alone with two little kids and try to navigate downtown by myself. Not as much fun, and so not worth it. 

So our plans are pretty simple, and surprisingly easy. The kids loved it last year. We all sat on the couch with a huge pile of various cookies, and used the PVR to call up all the photos we took from January through Christmas on the TV. Then we just flipped through the photos using the remote and/or keyboard. 

Happy New Year!
